If you have 2 cards, one task will run on each card at the same time. Sli is not used. A GTX470 is much more powerful than a GTX460 at GPUGrid; it does about twice the work. A GTX580 is the most powerful card that works here, then the GTX570, GTX480, GTX470 and a GTX465. I have not seen any results from a GTX560 yet, but I would suggest anyone thinking about buying a GTX560 should think again - just get the GTX570. | |

To answer your question, different cards have different attributes, mainly based on the chip they use. The GTX460 uses a GF104 chip, so it isn't a simple matter of comparing it with say a GTX570 (based upon a GF110 chip). In general a chip with more cuda cores (aka shaders) will out perform one with less. You also have to factor in the speed of the cuda cores as some cards may have less but run at a higher speed. | |
